‘Will CV’s Resume?’
16th May, 2014 · Our News, Tips & Advice
Advances in the technological field have helped companies further their businesses but also their recruitment drives. Using multimedia and online tools has become one of the leading trends for recruitment, at the present.
We, Axis Recruitment, use online tools to help us in recruitment drives, LinkedIn and job sites are just the beginning of our database tools.
So is the traditional CV dead? We’d like to think not. Even though we use these high tech methods to forward our business and find clients, we still monitor CV’s.
Our team believe that the first impression counts and an impressive CV is more likely to further your job search and help you secure a job.
Companies still want to see experience and knowledge of their industry sectors on paper. Yes, we agree LinkedIn recommendations and highly connected business profiles are a way of displaying your knowledge but it’s that initial detail and personality that comes across on your CV, that will blow us and the client away.
Here are our tips on a successful CV:
- Tailor-made
Read the job description and see if you can further describe your experience to meet the needs of the potential employer.
2. Current
Regularly update your CV, include new life experiences, extra qualifications or work experience if you feel it is relevant.
3. Keywords
Scan the job description and see what keywords they use, if you feel they fit you, add and change your CV to fit these.
